  1. jeroen020: The dcs elgar is very fussy with the Lynx. The Lynx tech support was successful in getting it to work for a short time, but it is now inoperative again and I haven't had the time to call tech support again. When it works, the RR HRx versions blow the cd's away. Downloads from the internet yield mixed results. The dual AES works fine with the Elgar when I can get the system to function. I am currently investigating other alternative dac's and would suggest you try out the dcs before purchase. Good luck. jambro
  2. Chris: Answer to question #1: Yes, I cancelled out of the normal installation routine and manually selected the old drivers on first install. Answer to question #2: I don't know. When I click on the "about" menu item to find the version # the software program crashes. That is one of the bugs yet to be worked out. (The other bug is no signal readout on the mixer panels). Otherwise, the software seem to be working OK. Paul wants me to put the Lynx card in another computer to see if the problem is software-computer conflict or a defective Lynx card. I haven't yet gotten around to that. I will let you know the final outcome. Regards, Jambro
  3. Chris: I finally found help with my Lynx-dCS incompatibility problem. Paul Erlandson at Lynx Studio Technology graciously offered his time to solve the mystery. It seems that the Lynx card driver specified by Reference Recordings (LynxTWO Version 1.30 Build 057g) is not compatible with the dCS Elgar. Paul sent me another driver (L2WDM016.exe) which eliminated the syncing and noise problem. There are still buggy software issues, but the system basically works. So far, I am very pleased with the sound of the HRx discs. The sound is more open with silky highs and more defined bass. Switching back to the CD version is like putting cotton in the ears. If you run into anyone else trying to use this combination, a heads-up on this will save many hours of wiring and phone calls. FYI: associated equipment in this system includes Avantgarde Trios with (6) basshorns and all BAT tube gear. The sound with 24/176 or good vinyl is impressive. Thanks again for the help. You run a great website. Jambro
  4. Chris: Thanks for the updated information. I believe I am using the older driver as specified by RR but I will check as soon as I get home (2-3 weeks). Also, have experimented with the buffer settings in MonkeyMedia with no luck. However, I will also check these and let you know the results. Also, Paul at Lynx is sending me a test file to attempt to narrow down the problem to the card or the player. Jambro
  5. Many thanks to Rahan and Chris for their prompt responses. Yes, I am set up for dual wire AES format on both the Lynx and Elgar. It seems to be working normally until the noise starts, so everything is apparently wired correctly. Also, 16/44 data plays normally as does upsampled 24/176 from my dCS Purcell. Since the Elgar owners manual states that dual AES must be used for high data rates, it never occurred to me to use the Firewire input on the Elgar. I will try using Firewire direct out of the computer like the Weiss unit. Unfortunately I am out of town for the next 2-3 weeks and will not have access to the system. However, I will give you a full report as soon as I return home. Thanks again. Jambro
  6. Hi: This is a repost from the mistakenly entered download forum. I am a new subscriber trying to play HRx files with a Lynx AES16 card and a dCS Elgar Plus DAC. I am using Media Monkey on a Dell XP as recommended by RR. The Lynx will not sync with the Elgar using all possible clocking configurations. A few seconds of music is consistently interrupted by digital hash. The music may occasionally return for a few seconds at a time. Lynx says it a problem with dCS and visa versa. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your help. Jambro
